Remembering Danny L. Paul

Posted on 5/15/15 - by Hunter pitman

Thank you for serving our country in the Marines. It takes a lot of courage to do that and maybe someday i will be able to join the military as well because you and so many people have inspired me. It is sad that you were only 20 when you passed but you are remembered and the only thing that i can think to say is thank you.
